Abstract

Abstract An efficient electrosynthesis of homoallyl alcohols or β-hydroxy esters in the presence of catalytic amounts of the NiBr 2 (2, 2′-bipyridine) complex has been developped from mixed electrolysis of methallylchloride, or methylchloroacetate with several carbonyl compounds, using a one-compartment cell equiped of a sacrificial zinc anode.
